Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

In Denver, common motorcycle accident injuries often include head and brain trauma, spinal cord damage, broken bones, severe abrasions, and internal harm. These injuries range from minor to catastrophic, frequently requiring emergency care, surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation.

“I would recommend them to anyone who needs an attorney for a personal injury case!!“

I was under the gun with my statute of limitations less than a month away, and K.C. at Dormer Harpring took on my case anyway. They gave me super professional and super personal service and got me a settlement that was FAR more than the insurance company offered me on my own. I would recommend them to anyone who needs an attorney for a personal injury case!!

Most Common Types of Injuries Caused by Motorcycle Accidents

The nature of injuries in a motorcycle crash often depends on the point of impact, the speed of travel, the size and weight of other vehicles involved, and whether riders wore protective gear. The most common types of motorcycle accident injuries include (and are not limited to):

• Head and Brain Injuries – Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are frequent due to the lack of a protective vehicle frame. Even helmeted riders can suffer lasting neurological harm in high-speed impacts.
• Spinal Cord Injuries – Severe crashes may cause partial or total paralysis, while less extreme trauma can result in chronic pain and limited mobility.
• Fractures – Arms, legs, collarbones, and ribs are often broken when riders are thrown or struck.
• Road Rash – Abrasions from sliding across pavement may require skin grafts.
• Internal Injuries – Organ damage or bleeding can be fatal if untreated.
